La chanson évoque l'idée bizarre et ludique d'acquérir un fleuve, en l'occurrence le Mississippi, mais sans inclure les villes ni les habitants qui l'entourent. À travers cette acquisition fantasque, le narrateur réfléchit aux implications de posséder un cours d’eau et s'interroge sur l’éventualité de l’emmener ailleurs, tout en tempérant ses élans impulsifs. Il envisage avec humour la notion de posséder un fleuve tout en se tournant vers d'autres grandes rivières du monde, cherchant le meilleur compagnon pour ses aventures. Cette approche légère souligne l'absurdité et la beauté de contempler la nature d'un point de vue presque enfantin.
